"Has apprentice been pulled off tonight??? Heard it has? Wen will the interviews b shown??" one fan fretted on Twitter.

“Will the vote tonight interfere with Coronation Street and Emmerdale tonight? I just want to live in the real world. And is Mrs May not concerned about Sally?” another wise-cracked.

And a third worried, “Due to Theresa May NO Confidence , it looks as though now that #Corrie, and #Emmerdale could be cancelled tonight due to every news station BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 wanting to go LIVE for the #TheresaMay #NOConfidence VOTE.”

Lord Sugar sent a tweet out at 4.30pm saying it was not clear yet if The Apprentice would be aired.

He wrote: "Apprentice due to the vote of no confidence there is a possibility tonights episode 11 will be delayed or resheduled."

BBC have cleared the schedule until 9pm when the result of the vote is announced.

However, ITV has confirmed that Corrie and Emmerdale will be aired as planned. Mirror Online has contacted BBC1 for comment.
